Can't publish project. "Error -50"?

Can someone please help me out?

Hi
Error -50 paramErr Error in user parameter list
Can there be any external hard disks ?
- if so How is/are it/they formatted ?
Must be Mac OS Extended (hfs) if used for Video.
UNIX/DOS/FAT32/Mac OS Exchange - works for most but not for VIDEO.
How about
• free space on internal boot hard disk? How much ?
Pictures
• in what format ? .jpg, .bmp, .tif, else ?
Audio
• from where/what format ? iTunes, .avi, .mp3, .aiff, else ?
Did You try to trash
• The "com.apple.iMovie.plist" file
Many users has not observed that there are TWO libraries.
• Library - at root level
• Library - in user/account folder - THIS IS THE ONE to look into
from Luke Burns
I fixed the problem.. but it was very, very strange. I had a very long section for credits and set the line spacing to 1.0.. for some reason this caused it. I removed it, and it worked fine. I put it back, and I couldn't preview or play the video.
I don't know why that could cause that big of a problem, but it did..

You need more free space on your hard drive.
jonorparkerjon
After phone support from apple I ended up creating a new project and adding all 117 clips back in individually till I found out what clips flagged and would not allow me to export. I had 3 I deleted and replaced and everything works now 1hr after tedious work....
Where do Your material come from
• Camera
• External hard disk
• USB-memory
And all are connected so that iMovie can find it ?

Can't publish - unknown error

I've never had problems publishing with iWeb before. My site has been up for almost a year now trouble free. Now, all of a sudden, I get a "Publish Error - An Unknown Error Occurred" message. Has ANYONE come up with a solution to this? It's really frustrating.
Thanks!

I have this same problem now consistently--that I can't publish to my iDisk/web site using iWeb 1.1.2. It's happen occasionally before, but now I can't do anything to get around it, when I've added a new page that contains photos. I get an "unknown error".
I've followed these instructions to try to publish to a folder, and I can't even do that--I get the same error. My iLife/iWeb (1.1.2) came with the upgrade to Leopard.
I understand how I can drag-and-drop the local/folder version of the site to my iDisk, if I can publish it to a local folder, but any suggestions about how to be able to publish to a local folder?
I started my Web site on an older version of OS X and iWeb. I've tried deleting everything on my iDisk iWeb folder and publishing all, but that doesn't work, and like I said, now I can't even publish to a local folder.
I'd love some thoughts ... Tx

Can't publish-project too long

I will give more background later, but to put my issue shortly, I will give the following info:
I have one video clip that I have trimmed (by taking a bit from the beginning and a bit from the end). It is almost 2 hours long (1:56 to be exact).
So, I have one clip in the project and no music. A pretty simple project. I say share with iDVD. It says it will take about 2 hours or so... and it seems to be going through all the appropriate processing, then, as it approaches the end of the process, it pops up with an error message from iMovie:
Unable to prepare project for publishing.
The project could not be prepared for publishing because an error occurred. (Project is too long.)
(I'd give the little illustration, but whenever I bring up "Grab", it hides the pop-up error. Once I click on iMovie, the pop-up error returns. Weird!-- But this is a moot point as this isn't the problem- I need to publish my project to iDVD.)
Other facts:
I have 11.4 GB available on my hard drive, so this is not the issue. (I had cleared up space thinking that was the problem as this is the second or third time I've attempted)
The original movie file that is in the project is about 2.29 GB in size.
Oddly, it seems that an error pops up under my Aperture saying I don't have sufficient space for the library volume. I was doing nothing on the MacBook while this project was publishing, so not sure why that is coming up... and not sure why it would say there isn't sufficient space for the library if I have tons of space on my hard drive. And, why is it popping up each time I try to publish my iMovie project? There aren't any photos from Aperture even in the project.
This mp4 file that I am using is actually a file produced by Elgato Video Capture (This is a VHS to digital transfer), if this matters at all.
Previously, I had imported some jpegs into iPhoto, (for another iMovie project that I needed photos for), but iMovie could not "see" them even though they were there plain as day. So, I imported into Aperture those same photos, and iMovie was able to "see" those in Aperture (these 11 photos are all I have in Aperture as I have not ventured into Aperture much yet-- but needed a work around for some reason on this OTHER project). I give this info in the instance that this Aperture to iMovie link could be causing any issue with this project despite no photos being included in this project.

Even though it might seem like a lot of space those 11.4GB of space, you still might need a little more especially as iDVD can only just about handle 2hr. worth of video material to fit on one DVD-R. The target free space you might want to get closer to is something like 25GB of open free space (almost double what you have free now). Partially the reason is all that 2 hours needs to be converted from the format it's in now Apple Intermediate Codec (AIC) to full MPEG-2. That's where things really start to expand and inflate. Then iDVD takes that whole MPEG-2 encoded file and makes an equally large Disk Image out of it that can then be burned to DVD-R. So the space requirements balloon up very quickly.
Sharing directly to iDVD can be full of surprises. Instead what you might want to try rather than Sharing to DVD is instead sharing it to the Media Browser from iMovie first (Large Size). Quit iMovie wants it completes the encoding. Open iDVD, go to the Media button down in the lower right hand corner of the Window and at the top of the Media Browser choose Movies. In the window you should see an iMovie Star icon with the project you shared immediately beneath that. Create a new project and drag that shared iMovie into the project window.

Can not open project - error message

I have a project that is approximately 100 slides (55KB), which I saved yesterday before shutting down my machine. When I tried to open it today, I get this error message .
Basically it is saying that it can't open the project because:
     -The file is already open (which it's not)
     -The file is damaged, for examples it was sent as an email attach and not correctly decoded (didn't send it as an attachment)
     -The hard disk doesn't have sufficient available space (tried moving some things off my desktop to free up space, also tried putting the project on a network with available space and opening from there)
     -The system has insufficient resources, close all other applications (tried closing everything else, still didn't open)
Has anyone ever gotten this message? If so, is there a way to resolve it and get the project to open? Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated so I don't have to recreate all these slides.
Thank you,
Amanda

Hi there
If at all possible you need to keep your project on the local C drive. There are a great many hazards lurking about when you decide to place the project on a network drive and make edits to it as it is on the network. Many things can go so wrong.

Can't Publish Project

Periodically, something within Robohelp appears to get
corrupt with a project. When that happens, the project compiles
without any problems until you click Publish. At that point, a
Webhelp dialog displays, saying "Publishing has been cancelled.
Access is denied."
The only thing I've found that fixes the problem is totally
trashing the project and starting over. I move the existing project
out of its original folder, then import the .hhc file into a new
project. It retains the settings and the formatting, and publishes
with no problem.
Is this the ONLY solution? Does anyone know how to fix the
problem AND keep the project? I'm asking because I have over 20
projects, and they ALL went corrupt today. Usually this problem
only affects one project at a time. But today I'm facing an
afternoon of recreating them all...

Hi Maureen
Perhaps look for the existence of a file on your side of the
publishing bit that is named:
thumbs.db. Seems I've read somewhere that this little
beastie can toss a monkey wrench into the wringer.
Note that you may need to perform the following steps in
Windows Explorer to see it.
Click Tools > Folder Options...
Click the View tab
Scroll down and choose "Show hidden files and folders"
DE-select Hide extensions for known file types and Hide
protected operating system files (Recommended)
Dismiss the dialog and scan for the file. If you find it,
delete it and try publishing again.
Cheers... Rick

Unable to Publish Project - Error Code -108

I am trying to publish a project (photos only) that is just a little over 1 hour long. About 75% of the way through I get the -108 error. An error code search indicates "error -108 iMemFullErr or memFullErr: Not enough room in heap zone" .....but I have 14gb RAM and a free 1TB hard drive. Any ideas?

I experienced this error code when I was trying to export a movie using the QuickTime option and H.264 format.
Tried a slew of different video settings without success (meaning after a few minutes of trying to export, iMovie would give me error code -108.
Then, I started suspecting the audio format. So, first I exported the movie without the audio tracks and it completed successfully. Then, I tried exporting with the AAC audio encoder instead of the default Linear PCM option, and it, too, successfully exported the movie, with audio.
So, try a different audio format output for your publication.

Can't publish movie error code = -108

I have built a slide show that took me about 20 hours with ken burns effects and transitions between each photo. it is 1hr 23 min long and I have over 300 gb on my hard drive spare. I have 2gb of memory. No matter what I do it won't publish and I get this message after the 119 minutes it takes to go through it all.
Any advice please

This might help

A bit of googling suggests it might be a memory problem. Rebooting clears memory, so may help

Error when Publishing Project on PS2013 - Blocking correlation 78%

Hello,
I have a strange error on a Project Server 2013 Platform. Certain projects refuse to be published, and the task finishes as an blocking job, with an achievement level of 78%. The error is Microsoft.Office.Project.Server.BusinessLayer.QueueMsg.SynchronizeTaskListInManagedModeMessage.
I put the complete error message at the end of this post. The ULS doesn't provide me more détails.
To get more infos in ULS, I switched the log mode to verbose, and I got an interesting message:
Node Consistency Message: Assignment Save. Uid=35d15af1-908a-e311-b465-005056a27863
Bad assnIndex 4 passed for 654d65c4-0a59-e311-a55a-005056a27863

Bad assnIndex 4 passed for 654d65c4-0a59-e311-a55a-005056a27863
Node Consistency Message: Summary Resource Assignment Save.
I tried googling this keyword "assnIndex" : it returns no answer. The GUID after the "for" is a ResourceUID. But what means assnIndex ?
Here are some additional info, saying when the project can be publihed, and when it returns an error:
- if the project contains tasks with only generic resources, it can be publiehed without pb => OK
- if the project contains tasks assigned to less than 2 named resources it can be published => OK
- if the project contains at least 1 task with more than 2 named resource, it fails => KO
- if I desactivate this task with 3 named resource, the project can be published => OK
The workaround is to split tasks, so that each is assigned to max 2 resources, but it can not be a solution.
If somebody can help me to find a solution, it would be very great !

Hi,
Since its happening with certain projects only, chances are that it could be due to corrupted project data and confusing details in ULS may can seen as misleading.
you can follow these steps (credit goes to our very dear Dale Howard), he also listed these steps in a blog but i cudnt find it rite now:
1. Ask the Project Server administrator to restore the backed up project again (even though it is corrupted).
2. Ask the PM to open the project in Microsoft Project 2010.
3. Ask the PM to add the Save for Sharing button to the Quick Access Toolbar (File > Options > Quick Access Toolbar).
4. Click the Save for Sharing button and save the enterprise project as an MPP file.
5. Close the MPP file and then reopen it.
6. Save the MPP file with the same name as the enterprise project.
According to Microsoft staff, the Save for Sharing feature is the new way to repair a corrupted enterprise project.

let us know if this works for you.

Thanks,

Directory Services is controlled through a service that runs a process called slapd.exe which builds an LDAP style database. The replication between LDAPs is controlled by slurpd.exe. Look in the logs and see if you can find the reason replication is failing. Maybe edit the INI files and set the log level to DEBUG and try stopping it with PostInstall.exe, which removes it, and adding it again. Look at the debugs.

Geoff

Can't play published projects(*.htm) from Captivate 5

Hi,
I'm trying now a few days already to publish my Captivate 5 projects. Usually I used the *.htm format, but since my colleagues said that they can't open them, I tried it with the *.exe or *.app formats too. Sometimes it works sometimes nothing at all.
With the *.htm files, the Adobe Flash Player Security Window comes up, but neither clicking "Settings" nor "Ok" is working. The movies starts for 1 sec and disappears immediately after.
I tried different settings while publishing, Flash Player settings, changed the "SWF size and Quality settings" (*.swf is also not working by the way), used different browsers, but nothing really worked.
Any ideas how I can solve that? It's really something I need to get fixed soon :-(
Thanks in advance
Svenja

Hi,
Double clicking on the '*.swf' file plays the file properly? Can you please share the information on which OS, browser and in Flash player version you are facing the Issue (.htm issue). Can you please confirm that on the colleague’s machine, Flash player ActiveX/Plugin is installed correctly and the location from where they are trying to open the file(.htm) is added as a Flash player trusted location.
What is the error message you are getting when you are trying to Open the *.exe File?.
To fix some 'Publish to .Exe' issues a patch was released. So you can try Publishing to Exe after installing the patch. The details about the patch are blogged here: http://blogs.adobe.com/captivate/2010/08/unable-to-open-exe-files-published-from-adobe-cap tivate-5.html

How can I publish a project so that the link to embedded flv is not lost?

When publishing an Adobe Captivate 3 project, the embedded flv file does not play.
How can I publish a project so that the link to embedded flv is not lost?

I am not really sure, if I understand you right. But try this:
Don’t place a picture, but draw a box and use the "Fill" command to put a picture into it.
(Don’t click onto the color swatch, but onto the blue link "Fill".)
In this case responsivness should work.

IWeb error messages -- can't publish large site after upgrade.

I just upgraded to iLife 09 and all of my websites showed up red in the new iWeb - indicating that they needed to be published. I hadn't changed any of them since the upgrade but I figured it was part of the upgrade to republish all of them.
Whenever I try to publish the sites I get the following message:
An error occurred while publishing file “/private/var/folders/pM/pMWBd0yEF04cfDIeAZkuPE+TI/TemporaryItems/com.apple.iWeb7281_TEMP_288612390_15/sites/JW/Things_and_Such_files/shapeimage2.png”. Try publishing again later.
I've tried all the usual suggestions. I threw away the preferences files and cache files for iWeb. I logged out of MobileMe and logged back in. I tried to publish from an older version of my Domain file from Time Machine. If I tell it to publish the site to my desktop then it works just fine. The site that it has problems with creates a 179MB folder on my desktop when I publish to my desktop. The other two sites that I have in iWeb publish perfectly in MobileMe but are not bigger than 3 MB each.
I tried moving parts of the larger site out of it, publishing the significantly shrunken page and then adding the rest back in smaller pieces. It will publish the smaller selection with no problem. It won't let me add the pieces back in, however. IWeb freezes up when I try and I have to reload the previous Domain file from Time Machine.
So, my question is: Is there a limit to the size of site that can be published using iWeb? If so how do I get around this?

Reboot fixed it.

Can't publish because Contribute converts flash fragment into java error

Hello Everyone,
I'm new with Contribute.
We designed a website with a flash navigation, embedded as
folows:
head: <script src="../js/AC_RunActiveContent.js"
type="text/javascript"></script>
body: <script type="text/javascript">
AC_FL_RunContent(
'codebase','https://download.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/swflash.cab##version =7,0,19,0','width','480','height','800','src','../haborn_homeh=0&s=0','quality','best' ,'pluginspage','
http://www.macromedia.com/go/getflashplayer','movie','../haborn_home?h=0&s=0'
</script>
(just the standard way of diplaying flash without the active
content message in explorer)
when i surf through the website in contribute, everyting goes
perfectly well, but when i edit the page, the flashfragment
disappears, and a javascript error occurs. the page then can be
published, but with an error so that the page can't be edited or
viewed again.
is there a way to define regions that are not touchable by
contribute in dreamweaver, the same way that you can difine an
editable region?
Tnx for any help!

A workaround for this problem could be using a SSI (with PHP
f.i.). Contribute won't touch the includes, so your code should be
save.

Writer can't see projects in Robo Version Control - no error messages

Background:
Robo Version Control 3.1
RoboHelp 8 (same issue happened with 7)
Issue:
We are having trouble with our source control, and I wasn't able to find an answer on this forum or on Google.
From time to time, when a writer opens RoboSource Control Explorer, they can't see any projects. They're not getting error messages, they seem to connect to the DB, but the left pane is simply empty (they don't see the root folder or anything else). We recently upgraded to RoboHelp 8, but this has happened on RoboHelp 7 too. Source control does work - for example, if they open their local version of a version controlled project, they can get the latest version of files, check in, check out and so on. They simply can't use RSC Explorer, so they can't Get projects they don't have on their HDDs already.
In the meantime, Source Control works just fine for the rest of the team, so I'm guessing it's a problem with some local settings. (The writer who is having trouble now can't get it working on her machine with her personal user or the admin user. At the same time, I can use the admin user just fine from my machine.)
This problem always solved itself after a while, but it's getting a bit annoying and I'm hoping someone knows why this is happening.

In general, manually moving files around inside the store like this should be discouraged.
reconstruct is telling you something is wrong:
ERROR: Inconsistent information: 0 idx records 41 messages 0 expunged
Reconstructing...
cannot retrieve message uid 590
cannot retrieve message uid 807
cannot retrieve message uid 911
cannot retrieve message uid 915
cannot retrieve message uid 1198
cannot retrieve message uid 1286The first line is to be expected based on what you have done. The store.idx indicates there are no messages in the folder. But it found 41 .msg files. So it is going to rebuild store.idx to fix that.
But then there is some problem with accessing the .msg files. Possibilities would include:
- wrong ownership/permissions?
- the .msg file being in the wrong NN subdir ??
If those guesses do not lead to anything, try truss on the reconstruct command to see what happens when reconstruct tries to open those files.

Can't publish project. "Error -50"?
